I had people suggesting cash out or HELOC, but I really don't like to risk the peace of mind I have with the home I own with refinancing it again. 

In this environment, it could take much longer. 

I have a couple questions:1)I know that when inflation increases it causes home prices to increase as well.I also know that when inflation increases, the fed has to increase interest rates to combat that inflation which causes home prices to fall.So my question is, in our environment now where inflation is increasing as well as interest rates (soon), will home prices continue to increase or fall over the next couple years?

With a competitive environment right now deals are hard to come by.

If it's not, then it's easy for her to argue that it's your responsibility in a shared living environment.

But it was fairly laid back environment compared to what I experienced living in Detroit for a few years.

Its value, or lack there of, lies only on the perceived value that it may have in the future or perhaps the platform will evolve into a virtual reality environment where you can build a house and or a commercial space for rent.

You may even want to consider Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University.

Also, the inspection for a condo will be much cheaper and shorter than a single-family or multi, so it's worth the peace of mind.Best of luck!

Anything to create some peace of mind.
